Thanks for your help. It isnt actually a vibrating system; it's more an energy dissipation mechanism before an end stop; a buffer if you like.
Energy dissipated is therefore simply 1/2 cvL, where v=initial velocity, L=length of cushion and c is the damping coefficient. This assumes a zero final...
Hi,
I hope you can help. I need to know what the energy dissipated by a damper in a single stroke is? It seems a simple, and obvious question but I am tying myself in knots with it! Please put me out of my misery.
F=c*velocity,
E=integral(0 to Length)F.dx?
F=c*Length*acceleration?
Aaargh...
Is there an international system for bearing classification? I am trying to identify some needle roller bearings in an assembly as part of my degree studies.
I presume that a manufacturer would buy in bearings rather than make them in house, and I presume that these bearings are made to set...
World Rally Cars inject fuel into the exhaust before the turbo. The fuel detonates and keeps the turbo spinning; this prevents turbo 'lag' and improves engine response. Maybe this is what you mean. It's certainly not road legal, or even recommended though!
